Benedictine coach to hold 2 youth softball clinics

Youngsters can swing the bat during two softball clinics at Benedictine University.

Clinics for youths ages 7 to 17 will be held from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Friday and Dec. 20 in the Ada Rice Center.

Benedictine coach Kate Enochs-Keller, who has led her teams to three Northern Illinois-Iowa conference titles and two berths in the NCAA tournament during her five years at the school, will run the clinic.

Participants must bring a softball glove and wear gym shoes. Bats will be provided, but participants may bring their own. Each child will receive a T-shirt. Cost is $35 per session or $60 for both. Call 630-829-6140.
